Capo: 1st fret
[Verse 1]
Am F
It’s such a perfect day to be washed away
C Em
I went and sat by the shore and I counted the waves
Am F
I counted a hundred and eight reasons I want to escape
C Em
But then the reasons, they’d crash upon the shore and they’d break
Am F
I don’t think I’ve got the stamina for this anymore
C Em
I’m not sure, that’s why I’m here by the shore
Am
But I’m sure that I’m so tired
F
Of searching for messiahs
N.C.
Asking why, why, why, why, why, why
N.C.
Must I battle this Goliath
[Verse 2]
Am F
I’m a force of nature, don’t you know I’m aware of it
C Em
But I’m so very sick of feeling so very sick
Am F
I’m tortured by the gods, I guess that I’m a heretic
C Em
Life keeps on fuckin’ me, I wish that life was celibate
Am F
My problems keep on peaking like the Everest
C Em
The elephant in the room is that my room is in the elephant
Am F
Becoming evident that we make fear president
C Em
When fear trumps love, that’s when the soul becomes irrelevant
[Chorus]
Am F
Ah-ah, ah-ah
C Em
Ah-ah, ah-ah
Am F
Ah-ah, ah-ah
C Em
Ah-ah, ah-ah
[Verse 3]
Am
When my troubles keep on mountin’
F
I make molehills out of mountaing
C
Roundabouts of doubt are sounding
Em
Drown my youth inside the fountain
N.C.
I’m a fuckin’ atom bomb, bitch
N.C.
Pourin’ salt into the wound
N.C.
Watch me rip apart that stitch
Am
I’m that kid
F
The one that life’s subtracted
C
Isolated, fractured
Em
Shakespeare reenacted, adapted
Am
For music, it’s too sick
F
I’m shining like Kubrick
C
My method is clockwork
Em
A full metal dude with
Am F C
My eyes on the prize
Em
Do you obey, do you abide?
[Pre-Chorus]
Am F
What is the price of creativity
C Em
Is it losing your mind?
Am F
And seeing patterns in the places
C Em
Where the pattern’s hard to find
[Chorus]
Am F
Ah-ah, ah-ah
C Em
Ah-ah, ah-ah
Am F
Ah-ah, ah-ah
C Em
Ah-ah, ah-ah
Am F
All alone, all alone
C Em
All alone, all alone
Am F
All alone, all alone
C Em
All alone, all alone
Am F C Em
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Am F C Em
Ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh
Am F C Em
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Am F C Em
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Am F C Em
Ooh, ooh, ooh
